2nd Amendment

I do agree that staunch 2nd supporters such as myself understand that some regulation in not just needed, but required in order not to fan anarchy.

But even though the 2nd doesn't state "A citizen, in good standing from birth", that is in effect how the law is now.
If you are a convicted felon, or have been diagnosed with mental problems, it is illegal to own or possess a firearm.
Most 2nd supporters don't have a problem with that, but in the fact that once a convicted felon pays his dues to
society, many believe their 2nd right should be re-instated. (as well as right to vote)

 

Thanks for posting that. There are many other restrictions as well. We (generally) can't own automatic weapons. We can't own grenade launchers, or other arms that are considered for a contemporary militia. For me this raises the question of intent of the word "militia." We clearly don't have an unrestricted right to possess firearms, so it's a matter of where the line is rather than if there should be a line.

 

Yes, and they are considered "primitive weapons". So anyone can possess them whenever.

 

A militia is not an army. The founding fathers wrote the 2nd without having a clue about current armament.
We allow complete armament without restriction to our armed forces so that they can defend us no matter what.
The 2nd was put in place to be sure the elected officials remember THEY work for US!
But unfortunately, all democrats, some republicans, have decided it doesn't apply to them.

 

I disagree. There are bad policies on both sides. If it would make a difference, I'd be Independent.
But that is a death nail to ones voting.

But not living here, and you only seeing the liberal biased media, you are, like most of the world,
in believing that the democrats aren't opposed to the 2nd.

The reality is they DO want to take All of our firearms away!
You hear what is media aired, I hear what they say, in person, in attending the rallies and speeches.

" No One Should Have The Right Own A Firearm" has been said, and I heard personally.

Many times. So please don't tell me from an outsiders opinion what I have experienced first hand.

The democrats are bent on destroying our constitution. I say this with open eyes and open ears,
personally myself to what they said and still say.

 

Many Democrats have openly and repeatedly said they want to shred the constitution and all the amendments and write a new one. Biden has said when elected president he will order troops door to door and CONFISCATE ALL GUNS!!!! When confronted by a UAW worker a couple of weeks later, about this, he called the guy an asshole ( or something to that effect) and proceeded to deny he ever said it. I did see him live on TV when he said it. So I know. Amazing how CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN and CNBC all "lost" that recorded footage from that campain stop.

 

Such as the FIRST!! FREEDOM of SPEECH and religion.

 

You noticed that too!!

 

Gun control = restricting people from mandatory gun registration. If registration doesn't prevent someone from owning a firearm, I see no problem with it.

 

Because it then gives the government a list of people to disarm first.
Gun registration has always ended up in government confiscation.
The only exception yet is Switzerland, but that is because they require all males to have military enlistment and training and
are issued a firearm that they must keep until about age 34.

 

Gun registration = gun confiscation. Worked for the Nazis, it will work for the liberals and ANTIFA.

 

Well, this isn't the case for US States. OFC, there are arguments to be made as to why that is. I know a few states with mandatory firearm registry and robust gun rights.

 

The "Kentucky" and "Pennsylvania" rifles, were originally intended for HUNTING, not war... Do a little research, next time.
Yes, they happened to work VERY well, for sniping "per se"... But warfare was NOT their original purpose.
Among other things, these rifles were slower to reload, than a military musket, and unable to take a bayonet. The Kentucky rifles, especially, tended to be "small bore" - .32-.50 caliber; NOT what military minds of the time normally considered as effective for combat.

 

California has been trying to get rid of the 2nd Amendment for a while now. As far as the "red flag", California already has it.
